Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~60 seconds.
Step 2
Working in batches, sear lamb cubes without stirring until deeply browned, ~2 min per batch. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, ~30 seconds, then stir in tomato paste for another 30 seconds.
Step 4
Pour in red wine and broth, scraping up browned bits. Return lamb to the pan with thyme sprigs and bring to a simmer.
Step 5
Simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes until lamb is tender and sauce reduces by half. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Stir in liver or blood paste if using, simmering 1 more minute until incorporated. Serve hot with crusty bread.
